The cashless bracelet: a proven solution for festivals

Over the past few years, the cashless payment bracelet has established itself as a must at festivals and other events. More than just a gadget, it is a real tool that makes life easier for organizers and festival-goers alike. But why is this payment system so appealing? What are its concrete advantages and how can it transform the experience at your event? We explain everything to you.

Simple operation, for a stress-free organization

The principle of the cashless bracelet is very simple: each festival-goer receives a bracelet equipped with a NFC chip. This bracelet acts as a electronic wallet. Participants can recharge it in advance and during the event online, or directly on site at dedicated stands. Then, to pay for a drink, a snack or merchandise, Simply pass your wrist in front of a terminal. In a few seconds, the transaction is validated, without the need for change or bank card.

For the organizers, it's a real burden less. No more managing small change, long lines at the cash register or rendering errors. Everything is digitized, centralized and above all, trackable. This allows you to have a vision of sales in real time, to better manage stocks and to optimize the organization on site.

Security and traceability: the essential duo of payment methods

One of the big strengths of the cashless bracelet is the security it provides. By eliminating the circulation of cash on the site, we drastically reduce the risks of theft, loss or fraud. Festival goers no longer have to worry about their physical wallet, everything is secure on their wrist. In case of loss of the bracelet, it is possible to quickly block it and to transfer the remaining balance to a new medium from the festivalgoer's cashless account.

For organizers, the digitalization of payments also makes it possible to maintain control over all financial flows. Receipts are centralized and accessible in real time, facilitating cash flow management. No need to count the cash register at the end of each day or carry around bags of change: everything is automated and secure.

A redesigned user experience

The success of the cashless payment bracelet is also measured in terms of the experience of festival-goers. No more looking for change or waiting in line to withdraw money: everything is already on the bracelet. The payments are ultrafast, which considerably reduces the queues at bars, food trucks or merchandising stands. As a result, participants spend less time waiting and more time enjoying music and entertainment, and will tend to consume more.

Reloading the bracelet is very easy. Festival goers can add credit at any time, from their smartphone or at a stand on site. They can also check their balance in real time, which prevents them from unpleasant surprises at the end of the day. And for those who have not spent everything, the remaining balance is refunded in a few clicks after the event, via an online platform.
